Plumbing in a dishwasher and washing machine.

[telectrix]

Thanks for your help I will do that but I can’t understand the difference between this dual pattrass and double socket

t5he one you will be used to is for a double socket. the one he's referring to is slightly wider with a divider and inboard lugs so as to accept 2 single sockets side by side. reason for using 2 singles is that a single socket is rated 20A whweas a double is 20A total for both sides.

Bad practice, but just about acceptable. Unlikely to cause problems unless both appliances are regularly heating water at the same time.

Dishwasher is about 1800 kw washer 2000 kw if I have them on separate am I ok I will still use duel pattress

As explained earlier, you just have to loop from one to the other... Creating a spur from a spur. Of course, not strictly allowed within regs.

this one then. think there's a knock-out between the comoartments.

I will do that then is there any point having switched sockets

 

[littlespark]

you'll find switched sockets are cheaper than unswitched.

Is it just a spur, or is there a switch controlling it above the worktop?

I think just a spur there is a fuse for it on wall opposite on a panel

What is the rating of that fuse??

If it’s coming off a 13A fused switch spur then you are way over the 13A limit.

your two appliances 3.8 Kw about 16 amps running through a 13 A fuse.

back to the drawing board.

you don’t design circuits where the limiting factor relied on is the person using the appliances One at a time.

If that was the case we could wire a whole house on a 2.5 mm radial. And leave it up to the consumer to choose and calculate what can and cannot be on at the same time.

not just bad practice, but bad design.

Can I run a dishwasher and washing machine off a double socket which is off a spur

From the thread title, I thought you were on about 'plumbing in' not 'plugging in'.
